They certainly did! i was there, shame Sheila wasn't, she made an appearance in Paris 2018, not bad for a 73 yr old!

Disco seems to be having a very welcome revival at the moment. Can't help thinking everyone needs a little disco in their life at the moment. 

Not being funny but hasn't the disco revival been going on for about 10 years now? Not that there's anything wrong with that (gratuitous Seinfeld reference), but it's been everywhere for years!

p.s, despite being punk, I love a good bit of disco!

[CaledonianGonzo]

It's had peaks and troughs over the last 20-odd years say. But at the moment it's ginormous like Craig David's crowd .

Check out Daft Punk's new single "Get Lucky" if you get the chance. Sound of the summer.

Scottish comedian Limmy cancelled for expressing solidarity with racist and homophobic Disco Sucks movement.

Out of upvotes, but yeah, exactly the point I was making earlier!

Did someone mention space disco?

 

Hey Cal(!), this one you chose is the very gold standard for Disco every time.

My second choice would be Native New Yorker 1977 . Yours is the very best late seventies beat, mine is all about the late seventies sentiment. Both equally exceptional tunes....

The last club night I went to was Glitterbox at Printworks in March 2020 (nice one, Covid). Glitterbox have been a huge part of the nu-disco movement. Their parties are so much fun, totally unpretentious and create a safe space for everyone to truly express themselves, which are the key elements of the genre and everything that dance music should be about.

Disco lives.

Picked up this stone cold classic on vinyl recently
 

 

On a similar tip I've been listening to to the Disco Dancer soundtrack this morning by Bappi Lahiri

M.I.A. and of Montreal have both covered this:

I think Bappi's in the BJP now.

Glitterbox takeover in one of the venues in the SE corner IMHO

[bamber]

Fuck I love Disco.

I'm that old, I borrowed this album from Swansea central Library on Vinyl and recorded the whole album to cassette tape. I then wore out said cassette tape in my car tape player. I subsequently bought it again on vinyl and it is now one of my more prized possessions.

Sign me up! I really like the idea of specific venues being curated by an organisation or a label for the night. 

A Glitterbox night on the Common would be spectacular.

NYC Downlow obviously caters to a similar sort of vibe, and probably not coincidentally is the most popular joint in the line-up.

Last time there was a Glastonbury I was unceremoniously ejected from NYC Down-low in the early hours for mingling in the back stage area with the Drag Queens and the Crew without the required wrist bands etc, I'd been there for hours, so it was no big deal. The security who were tasked with ejecting me seemed embarrassed by the whole ordeal.

I've only been in a couple of times as I can't be doing with the queue. Last time I was in I exited without my passport, which I eventually located an hour or so later in the middle of the dancefloor.

You should check out the Propaganda nights at the silent disco in Silver Hayes.

If they're still there in 2023, I will 😂

[CaledonianGonzo]

I thought Propaganda was an indie night?

HMS Sweet Charity gets our vote relatively regularly.  It's not a disco joint but the lack of queue and tropical and Latin bangers conjure up the right sort of vibe.

Disco is the best party music. And so a contender for the best music of all, for sure.

Have a soft spot for these Korean guys who made it over to the G a few years back:
